Subject: Which proposition is scriptural? |
Bible Note: Dear Tim, as I recall, I gave you a verse almost from the very beginning, but you rejected it! Matt 1:21 "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." You dis-missed it because of your insistance that "His people" must be the Jews. Well it seems strange that Christ would withhold His revelations from those (according to you) he came to save! Matt 13:10,11 And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?" Jesus answered them, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. There is no way, your definition, fits with the rest of scripture. for one thing the verse says He will! Even I know that when God uses " He will" it is a done deal. For Isaiah told us that God ALWAYS acomplishes His good pleasure. The work of Christ was perfect. He accomplished every thing that God sent Him to accomplish. He has saved His People! His people are clearly those whom the Father has given Him to save (AKA His sheep). Why this is so hard to accept is beyond me. John |
